How to calibrate an LCD Laptop monitor for Photoshop work

[Christ-Guard]

Hey guys,

   So in a recent post I found out my laptop's monitor is not calibrated correctly =( I am working from home, in a foriegn country, so getting a proper monitor is out of the question at the moment. Can anyone give me advice on how to properly calibrate my monitor? Thanks!

I should hold off, and do manual calibration for now.

A colorimeter can't calibrate your printer. The cheapest spectrophotometer is about 400 bucks, by Color Munki.

Calibrating printers is something I leave to the print professionals, as I don't print my own work (except for mock ups)
